Lost in Translation examines the relationships between languages and student mobility from the nineteenth to the twenty‑first century. Through panels, roundtables and a film screening, the conference explores Asian mobilities within imperial Europe, (post)colonial contexts, twentieth-century linguistic practices, multilingualism at the University of Geneva, Cold War dynamics and contemporary mobility patterns. Contributions combine historical research and transnational perspectives to reveal how language shaped student experiences and academic networks. A scientific committee supervises the programme.
In French and English.
